Quantum Perspectives: A Panel Series celebrates 20 years of quantum at the Institute for Quantum Computing. Over the past two decades, IQC’s leading quantum research has powered the development of transformative technologies, from ideas to commercialization, through research in theory, experiment and quantum applications. This year, we’re celebrating IQC’s 20th anniversary with a panel series exploring all perspectives of quantum, including sensing, materials, communication, simulation and computing.
Quantum sensors allow us to measure with incredible accuracy, precision and selectivity. Future quantum devices that achieve these ultimate sensing qualities by harnessing the complexities of atoms, photons and semiconductors will play a critical role in improving applications such as medical technology, radar, geological exploration, molecular imaging and more.
We
need
new
experimental
techniques
to
build
these
devices.
In
this
panel
discussion,
we’ll
hear
from
three
leading
experts
in
the
Waterloo
region
who
are
pushing
boundaries
to
develop
new
sensing
technologies
based
on
quantum
mechanics:
Kostadinka
Bizheva,
Professor
at
the
University
of
Waterloo’s
Department
of
Physics
&
Astronomy
who
is
working
on
new
techniques
for
optical
coherence
tomography
(OCT),
Michael
Reimer,
Assistant
Professor
at
IQC and
the
University
of
Waterloo’s
Department
of
Electrical
&
Computer
Engineering
who
is
developing
highly
efficient
photon
detectors,
Troy
Borneman,
Senior
Scientist
at
High
Q
Technologies
who
is
building
sensitive
superconducting
resonators
for
medical
sensing
applications.
